Who sent the email?

Did you have any message alerts when logged into your Paypal account?

Of updating account safely and easily.

My email address is included here and following that is a Case ID number of 23 initials-4 sets of 3 numbers which I have been advised is not permitted so has been deleted.

Forward the email to spoof@paypal.com

 

If you log in to your PayPal account directly at the site and there are no banner alerts, cases open in the Resolution Center, it's likely spam/phishing email.


Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
